2022, lasted less than 2 years at 11,000 ish miles.

I’ve got a 2023 with 12k plus and my battery is still going strong. I’m hoping it’ll kick the bucket so I’m finally have a reason to replace it with an Optima yellow top. No luck yet! Now watch, tomorrow morning… click.

I've had my jeep basically since end of April 2025. I've put on about 10k miles. 4 trails. Cross country drive. I run an ARB dual compressor, warn winch, Bluetti DC to DC charger. I also have a bunch of lights all tied to the Aux switches (AEV two large front driving lights, BAja designs fogs, Diode Dynamics SS3 ditch lights and SS2 lower ditch lights, SS1 Chase, Baja desgins backup). This is why the wiring is painful in the picture - wired to the aux wires so that I can control all my lights form the Aux switches for a cleaner interior install.

I started noticing issues a few weeks ago - when I hit the start button, it would hesitiate. Then it would start turning off the performance exhuast. Then it took awhile to get the starter going. Then it threw a CEL. The CEL was likely from the low voltage causing sensors to not startup properly. I checked the voltage and it dropped below 10V on turnover (all lights turned off too and Bluetti turned off). It also sat at or below 12V when engine wasn't running.

At this point, I just decided to go with the Antigravity 80Ah battery. Going on long overlanding trips (Moab, Death VAlley, Pismo and Rubicon - all this year planned) I didn't want to wonder if my jeep was going to start or not. Also it's 32lbs lighter and has it's own backup starter battery.

Immediate difference. Starters works right away. CEL went away. Performance exhaust stays on. Very happy with it so far.View attachment 51853

Picture of it installed below. Sorry for the mess of wiring (I did all the electronics on this Jeep including wiring the ARB and Bluetti myself). At some point, I'll redo the wiring for a cleaner look.

Changing your battery takes some ingenuity no doubt. But I’m with you, I prefer a cleaner look on the interior

There were some contortions performed.

Can’t find any Napa around me that does in store pickup for the odyssey battery so it is trying to force home delivery for another $39.99 delivery fee. Any way you guys have found around that?

Can buy it directly from Odyssey for no shipping costs. Might not e the fastest though.

That's a bummer. Maybe the local distribution center is out of stock. I just ordered another one for a different vehicle and my 6 closest store locations listed Ship to Store for next day pickup as an option. No additional charge.
